Playback Screens & Menus

You can playback captured images by pressing the QUICK VIEW button when the lens
barrier is closed or when in record mode.

In the playback menu you can enable the INFO option to display information
including the quality (SHQ), Image Size (2288x1712), Exposure Comp., White Balance, the Date/Time and the File
Folder/File Number.

Press the zoom lens control to the wideangle position to activate the index playback
mode. In the menu you can select the number of images to display per screen
as 4, 9 or 16.

Pressing the zoom control to the telephoto position will enlarge the image on the
screen. There are several magnifications available from 1.5x to 4x. Once the image
is enlarged you can scroll around inside of it using the 4-way jog control.

Pressing the MENU button while in playback mode brings up this screen of options:

Image Save - Save images from being erased
Rotate - Rotate image 90% left or right
Print Order - Select images for future printing

During sound recording, the 580 presents a bar graph of the remaining time available;
recording is limited to about four seconds.

To playback a movie, first select it in review mode, then depress the OK (menu) button.
In the movie playback mode you can playback entire movie clips or frame by frame.
The Mode menu provides an indexing option that allows you to save individual frames
as still pictures, and an editing function that allows you to shorten the movie.

During playback, the right and left buttons of the 4-way controller are used as
fast-forward and fast-rewind controls.
Information is displayed on total and elapsed time of the clip.

screen is presented on the monitor. You can choose from the following print modes:

Print - Prints selected picture
All Print - Prints all the pictures stored on the card
